Note: If you want to connect the OpenCart APIs so as to connect the OpenCart store with the Magento store then you must install the OpenCart Akeneo Connector in your OpenCart store.

OpenCart Backend:

Navigate to your Opencart Backend via System->Users->API as per the snapshot below.

Here, edit the already create API or create a new one as required. For now, we will edit the already created API.

Here, we will get the API User Name and the API Key to be used in the Magento 2 configuration settings for the extension. Apart from that, going to the IP Addresses we will add the Magento 2 website IP address where we are going to use this API data.

Magento 2 Backend:

Now, navigate to the Magento 2 backend and here you will find the OpenCart Magento Connect Option on the admin side panel with different options.

Navigate to the Configuration option and the below section appears.

Here, the admin will –

• Choose the Magento attributes as Only Required.
• Enter the OpenCart admin email address.
• Enter the OpenCart API User Name.
• Enter the OpenCart API URL, Like https://example.com/opencart/upload

After entering the above details the Magento 2 admin will tap the Check Connection button and if the connection is successful you will see a success message for the same.

So, now we have connected the OpenCart Store with the Magento 2 Store.

To Map the attributes in Magento 2 with the OpenCart attributes navigate through OpenCart Magento Connect->Map Attributes.

Here you can map the Magento 2 simple product attributes with the OpenCart attributes as shown below in the snapshot.

After mapping the attributes, tap the Save Attribute Map button on the top right-hand corner.

The admin will create the product at the OpenCart end as required. To do so, create the product by entering the required details in the OpenCart backend.

After creating the product save the product.

Kindly note, that depending on the attribute mapping that has been done at the Magento end, the fields that have been mapped and the data for those will be imported into the Magento 2 store for the product.

Magento 2 OpenCart Connector:

The extension at the Magento 2 backend allows the admin to easily import the products from OpenCart into the Magento 2 store. To do so, navigate through OpenCart Magento Connect->Map Products.

Here, the admin will find all of the imported products from the Opencart.

To import the products from Opencart to Magento 2 tap the Import Product from Opencart option in the top right-hand corner.

Tapping the Import product from OpenCart will import the product with a success message.

Now, the admin needs to run the profiler after that. For the same choose the Run Opencart Product profiler to create the product within the Magento 2 store.

After the product is created at the Magento 2 store you need to manually assign a category to the same. After assigning the category the product is visible at the storefront.

Reimport the Products:

The admin can also reimport the products from OpenCart to Magento 2 that have already been imported into Magento 2.

To do so, select the product that you want to reimport and from the actions dropdown select the Reimport Option.

A prompt will be shown to re-import the product, tap OK on that as per the snapshot below.

After execution, the product will be re-imported as per the snapshot below.
